Yes. It wasnt anything I did.

Oil light flickered and came on and I pulled over immediately. Stopped for 10 minutes and checked the oil. No oil on dipstick. Rainbow of oil all over the wet road. Got out and hitchhiked and the third car was a woman I used to work with and her wife (you read that right) She picked me up, took me to my house where I got four quarts of oil and she took me back to the car. Its good to have friends! Added two quarts of oil, oil now to the fullmark. Started engine, oil light went out. My friend drove away and I headed for home about a mile away. Oil light comes back on. Get out and walk home, call AAA, meet them at the car and off to the dealer we go.

Oil light comes on with full sump, doesnt dim or go out on revving. CAr is at the dealers but they say they may not get to it tomorrow so that means the Grom to work on Monday. Weather permitting.

Something is leaking onto the oil filter. Oil pressure switch?

Could it be the oil pump? WHy would an oil pump pump oil out?

SIGH

Oh well they have a certified iQ with 31 miles on it....
